Handmaiden

hello everyone

I would like to reenter the castle with some new charries, if that’s all right. (:

Interesting…the character I ennd up writing the most in the castle is very much an extrovert XD

Well, when you and Ruan feel up for it, you’re more than welcome to rejoin!

haha we gotta love the extrovert characters XD

thank you! <3

I’d say that the overall tone of the castle isn’t dark, but there’s definitely been some heavy, touchy subjects…

@calidris

AHW HI CALIDRIS!!! :] That’s just so sweet you guys were wondering about me 🥹

Ahwww Basilllll … that makes me so happy for himmm. ☺️ And I’ll definitely think about it! It’s been a while since I’ve written Rúan (my guess is that he got worn out from me writing him all the time and needed a break because he really is an introvert),…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Ahw, hey Rose, it’s so nice to hear from you again. (:

And I’m so glad you remembered me and ma boi Rúan. It’s been a while, haha.

and yeah, I’ll likely be spending less time here because of academics, but I’ll be around (:

Hello all.

I have disappeared for a while now.

Please pardon my length absence. Life has hit hard, and academics are taking most of my writing time away. I gathered the strength (and courage) to come here again because my boyfriend suggested I check in with you all (he’s also a writer but I don’t think he’s on here).

So please. Accept my…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf actually, Osløn forcibly removed the snake, ! just didn’t make it clear; I apologise. 😅

But then the knife-like pain in my ankle abated.

My mind was still cloudy with the eerie numbness and ache, but it was slightly better.

It was here ^^

OSLØN:

Someone approached. Someone unknown.

This young man had brown hair — a rather common colour, in my opinion — and wore a mysterious expression on his face.

He reached for Rúan’s hand, pulling him up into a standing position. My half-brother’s eyes fluttered.

“Who are you?” I demanded of the new person.

Then Rúan winced, his kn…[Read more]

Isn’t it fun?! One of the joys of being an author…*smiles contentedly*

Ah yess … the joys of being an overlor– er, uh … author 😁

Wow, Ruan hasn’t been in the castle for a minute, and he’s already been bitten by a venomous snake. This is clearly not his day. Poor guy. xD

Yeahhh, he’s not exactly the luckiest guy. I mean, look who he…[Read more]

Okay, so I’m going to try something I’ve never tried before:

Literally throwing my characters into the room. 😁

I always try to do something subtle and seamless when introducing my characters, but NO MORE *swipes arm around*

*knocks over the table lamp*

*is unaware of the fire that started*

😐

As evidenced, I am strange.

Very…[Read more]

Oh gosh … I’m so sorry — I forgot about this. 😅

What’s happening right now? I can’t really read it all (stupid overwhelming disorder); could I have a summary, please? Thanks!

Here’s Rúan:

Couldn’t find a drawing I did of him. 😒

Thank you so much!!

You already know Rúan, but I’ll give a bio for anyone else who doesn’t. (:

@calidris

Is Oslon Ruan’s illegitimate half brother?

Well … yes, pretty much. I don’t really like revealing this anywhere outside of my WIP, since it’s going to be a groundbreaking plot twist in my WIP. But I thought it would be a good dynamic to explain why Rúan hates him 100x more than he did before he found out. 😅

Does each clan have po…

Our eyes were locked dead on each other, staring through the chaos that ensued around us. It was an unblinking bridge of pure, numb hate.

Histories of bloodshed and violence could not sum up against the antipathy channelled in this single reciprocated glare.

The background noise lowered to a hum, drowned in the ocean of hatred that crashed…[Read more]
